The acquisition of a portable DVD player made a massive difference to my sanity on a recent long driving trip - perfect peace from the 3 kids in the back seat for hours and hours! Only drawback was the soundtrack from the machine itself, which stopped SWMBO and me from listening to CDs in the front.
What's needed, of course, is for the three of them to be able to listen to the DVD player on headphones; unfortunately there's only one output. How can I split this three ways? I'm envisaging making a small box with three earphone sockets connected to a lead with an earphone plug on the end; but I'm assuming it's not just a case of wiring up the three sockets in parallel? Presumably the sound would be too quiet and/or it could damage the player by the impedance being wrong?
I can't believe that such gizmos aren't readily available off the shelf, but I can't find one!
